Answer:
Adding more substrate would overcome the effect of the compound
Explanation:
- Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
- Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
- Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
- Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
- The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
- Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.
<u>Answer:</u> The edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Atomic radius of iridium = 0.163 nm
To calculate the edge length, we use the relation between the radius and edge length for FCC lattice:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the edge length of the unit cell is 0.461 nm
I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem. http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html
Normal setting:
Species Pop. size
Blue heron Medium
Perch Medium
Bass Medium
Minnows Medium
Inverts Medium
Algae Medium
If PERCH population size decreases,
Species Pop. sizeBlue heron LowPerch LowBass MediumMinnows HighInverts HighAlgae Low
As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
